After her shaky and widely panned first briefing, a reporter asked Trump which state Zacharia had passed the bar exam in. The president, who had described Zacharia as an attorney when announcing her appointment, turned to her and asked: “Which state?” She replied: “when I moved to China”.

I don't know how an app can run all these processes on a device without causing unnecessary wear on it, not to mention battery drain.
